Chapter 16, Problem 16.10P

If the water table in Problem 16.9 drops down to 0.25 m below the foundation level, what would be the change in the factor of safety for the same gross allowable load?

16.9 A square footing is shown in Figure 16.18. Determine the gross allowable load, Qall, that the footing can carry. Use Terzaghi’s equation for general shear failure (Fs = 4). Given: γ = 17 kN/m3, γsat = 19.2 kN/m3, c′ = 32 kN/m3, ϕ = 26 ° , Df = 1 m, h = 0.5 m, and B = 1.5 m.

Please use virtual work/ force method as I am struggling with that particular concept.
The anchor from Part A can also fail in shear in the circular head, as shown (Figure 3). What is the minimum thickness tt required for the head to support the allowed load PallowPallow = 15 kNkN if the material fails in shear at τfailτfail = 30 MPaMPa ? Use a factor of safety F.S.F.S. = 2.2.
